I was looking up skull and bones stuff.

Thought this was interesting.  I love the internet – for bringing the dark things to light so we can stamp them out by shining a light on them…..:

William Howard Taft, 27th. President of the United States (R) Confirmed Mason. Was a member of the Order of Skull and Bones. In fact, the Taft family which dates back to Braintree Mass. in 1679, helped start the Skull & Bones Order and at least eight Taft’s have been in the Order. Coleman DuPont, went in business with President Taft’s brother Charles P. Taft (member of the Skull & Bones) in 1910 to build McAlpin Hotel in New York City. (Taft’s other brother Horace Taft, was a member of the Order of Skull and Bones. United States Presidents and the Masonic Power Structure
W. Averell Harriman (init. into Skull & Bones in 1913), the man who helped finance Hitler to power. The Skull and Bones also incorporates sexual activities into their practices. “The death of the initiate will be as frightful as the use of human skeletons and ritual psychology can make it…” (Esquire Magazine, “The Last Secrets of Skull and Bones”, Ron Rosenbaum, p. 89) Sexual perversion is part of ritual psychology. Ron Rosenbaum, author of the Esquire Magazine article, stated that on initiation night, called tap night, “…if one could climb to the tower of Weir Hall, the odd castle that overlooks the Bones courtyard, one could hear strange cries and moans coming from the bowels of the tomb as the 15 newly tapped members were put through what sounded like a harrowing ordeal…” (Esquire, September, 1976, p. 86). Further, [initiates] “lay naked in coffins and tell their deepest and darkest sexual secrets as part of their initiation.” (Esquire, p. 85). More Skull and Bones
These experiences in the coffins incorporated sexual pain and resulted in being born-again, into the Order, as we mentioned above. (Cooper, p.95) Powerful force charges through the participants of these ceremonies, transforming their lives dramatically. This type ritual is classic Satanism. Anton LaVey states, in his book (The Satanic Rituals: Companion To The Satanic Bible, (p. 57) “The ceremony of rebirth takes place in a large coffin.. This is similar to the coffin symbolism that…is found in most lodge rituals.”
Make no mistake about it: Any organization which utilizes this coffin ritual to simulate rebirth is practicing Satanism, including Skull and Bones. The Skull and Bones believes that on the night of initiation, the initiate “dies to the world and be born again into the Order…” (Esquire Magazine, September, 1977, p. 89). Remember Hitler’s belief that he had been born anew after his ritualistic initiation and training? This term is a common one in occultism.
During the 1988 Presidential Campaign, a TV reporter asked Vice-President Bush if he were a Christian. Bush initially stammered, but then said, “if you mean born again, then, yes, I am a Christian”. Now we know what George Bush meant by his deliberately misleading statement.
